Action is the foundational key to all success.

People with talent are not interested in showing off behind another person.

Art is constant tension and release. That is where artists live, between the two or at times, submerged in either.

From my point of view, which is that of a storyteller, I see your life as already artful, waiting, just waiting and ready for you to make it art.

We’re here to bring beauty to the world and make a difference on this planet. That’s what art forms are about.

If you believe in your art and you love what you do, that energy will go out and people will respond.
